Cleveland's Columbus Day parade has all the standbys of parades everywhere, and for the last few years, has added a novelty to the holiday mix. Employees of the Orlando Baking Co. ride in the open back of a truck and toss more than 500 bags of rolls to crowds in Little Italy.

In a mix of actual excitement and campy fun Monday, parade spectators chased the truck through drizzly streets, their hands outstretched, clamoring for a bag of six ciabatta rolls with a fervor matching the scrum for foul balls at baseball games.
